Currently reading a book called Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the 60s by Tom O ‘Neil. The book that I just finished was Flowers in the Attic.

It's the 40k prequel series and it's been a bit spotty, some of the books have been really good while others utter drek with a lot of schlocky scifi action pieces in between but its been enjoyable if in need of pauses for sheer size alone. I'm about 15 novels in and haven't made a dent.
I’ve been wanting to get into 40k but I’ve been told that it’s not like picking up a book series. I will eventually start reading the lore
If you want to read some 40k stuff without needing to know a lot of backstory and would like something considerably lighter than the "grimdarker than black" that the setting is known for, I recommend Ciaphas Cain. It's a comparatively lighthearted series about a cowardly commissar who by incredible luck and/or subconscious skill, against his own efforts, happens into situations where he becomes more and more of a hero of the Imperium.
Thanks!
